I understand that. I never said anything to the contrary.

Sorry, I meant 2010. In my mind I still think it's 2008.

This video seems to imply that Red Bull will start the season with KERS which even Ferrari doesn't look like it's going to be able to do.

As of today It's safe to say that The Boys from Brackley will be Pushing Their Car! Exiting a F1 Car is not at all graceful! Donnington is in financial trouble, Bernie served Turkey with Legal notice of termination. Toyota demands a WIN or else! Williams is the Team with Sponsor troubles. As Fans, 99% of the News We have recieved has been Rumours & Innuendo! what a crock! I will never pay any attention to the off season again! See all You Guys after AUS!

autosport.com - F1 News: Massa calls for high-profile tests

Personally I think that was the dumbest idea ever....Reduce the track time on race weekend infront of the paying public and actual sponsor exposure for MORE development that no regular fans cares about, and get points for doing that? He kinda forgot who pays his bill....

**Jack_Bauer** · 03-04-2009, 08:58 AM

He seems a nice guy and all, but Massa certainly doesn't strike me as the sharpest knife in the drawer!

He believes it is important for drivers to also have input into F1's future direction.

On this evidence, it's probably best if they stick to pedalling and steering and keeping their mouths shut.

Ecclestone 'surprised' by Renault F1 quit threat | Formula One News | Crash.Net

How much money does Bernie rake in per year and how much of that goes to the teams right now?

Knowing Brawn's abilities, I wouldn't be surprised if the team will last rather long and become quite successful, especially in terms of current regulations.

I wonder what effect the past three months will have had on the development of the car. They clearly have not tested it but I wonder if they continued working on it.

i hope so. would this be the first car completely developed under brawn's leadership?

and im with faksta about brawn's abilities. maybe he can bring his old friend Mike Schumacher to help him out.

Here are the first official (and first at all) pictures of the new Brawn GP BGP001 shot during team's testing session at Silverstone, Button driving. The fourth picture is an official Brawn GP press release from today.

Wouter, I've read somewhere that they have continued their work on '09 car, but I can't say that for sure.
